Fine, a porter is a type of stout, but using that logic, Old Milwaukee is beer, and I still find that hard to believe. The defining characteristic of a stout is the presence if roasted barley, and chocolate malt, while dark in color, does not create the bold roasted flavor the a roasted barley will. I'm sure the beer will be delicious, as all uncontaminated homebrews tend to be, but I'm allowed to question the lack of roasted barley in your "stout" recipe. I am very happy to be in this blog and condone the use of my nickname from here on out. <br /><br />Love, <br />Beer KidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
